Taiwanese-American Angela Lin is on a journey to elevate her Mandarin skills with the help of her Mandarin teacher guests. On this show, Angela engages in meaningful conversations using only the Mandarin she knows, while her guests provide live corrections along the way. This practical format allows both Angela and listeners to learn "grown-up" Mandarin and correct common mistakes naturally, offering an approachable way to help American-born Chinese (ABCs), American-born Taiwanese (ABTs), and other advanced Mandarin learners find their voice in Mandarin on the topics they care about.

11. Building Community in the Midwest & Beyond ft. Kelly Mosa

Kelly Mosa is a Taiwanese content creator (recently naturalized US citizen!) who shares both funny and heartwarming content about her Taiwanese perspective on life in Minnesota and moments of levity in her cross-cultural relationship with husband Nicholas.

Little could she have imagined how many people would relate to her story, turning her platform into a thriving community of people like her both on and offline - first-generation immigrants trying to adapt to a totally different culture/country, feeling otherwise stuck and alone - coming together to find a piece of home and a safe space to share their experiences.

Since Kelly is not a Mandarin teacher but rather a native speaker willing to share her real story, we ironically learned some of the most "real life" vocabulary we've ever learned through recording this podcast - in this episode, you'll learn words like 人生轉變 / 人生转变 / rén shēng zhuǎn biàn ("life change/transformation"), 你不孤單 / 你不孤单 / nǐ bù gū dān ("you are not alone"), and 精神上面的支持 / jīng shén shàng miàn de zhī chí ("moral/emotional/psychological support").
